Part 8/11:
Speculation abounds about what lies beyond Strawberry’s initial release. Industry insiders suggest that future versions might incorporate multimodal capabilities, enabling processing of images, audio, and video in addition to text. There are also whispers about integrating Strawberry with other AI projects, such as Orion, a next-generation language model designed with synthetic data derived from Strawberry’s capabilities.
Furthermore, the significant investments involved in training models like Strawberry—estimated to cost tens of millions of dollars—raise important questions about sustainability. As AI models grow more advanced and resource-intensive, companies will face increasing pressure to demonstrate real-world value and justify high development costs.
